Bright Sword: I don’t want to be the king!

Cao Geng has always believed that the quality of the army is more important than its quantity.

Therefore, he trained these recruits repeatedly.

Of course, Cao Geng had some selfish motives when training his soldiers in this way, besides wanting to make them stronger.

That is, he wants to select some people from these soldiers to form a special forces!

You know, the Winter Soldier template he fused with was himself a special forces soldier.

Possessing special forces skills and enhanced serum, it would be a shame if Cao Geng did not establish a special forces unit.

"Captain, the team you asked me to assemble is ready!"

On this day, Cao Geng asked Wang Huaibao to help assemble the troops.

All 1,400 people are in place!

Cao Geng came in front of all the soldiers of the third battalion!

"There is only one reason why I called you all here today. I want to form a special forces unit!" Facing the elite soldiers of the Third Battalion, Cao Geng announced slowly.

"Special forces?!"

When Cao Geng mentioned this name, everyone in the audience was stunned.

After a period of training, most of them have become experienced veterans.

But they had never heard of the concept of special forces.

Actually, we can’t blame them.

In this era, there were no special forces in the whole of China.

Usually when two armies fight, it is mostly large-scale group combat.

Even guerrilla warfare, which is distinguished from large-scale military operations, uses the old tactics of waiting for the enemy to tire before attacking and pursuing them as they retreat.

The brothers in the third battalion certainly didn't know what special forces meant.

Cao Geng patiently explained: "Special forces are elite troops composed of soldiers who perform special tasks!"

"Their individual combat capabilities are extremely strong and they can complete tasks in a variety of harsh environments. This is different from large-scale group combat and the combat methods of guerrilla forces!"

...

"The so-called special forces are elite troops that can sneak into the enemy's rear, attack the enemy directly, and even change the course of the entire war with their extraordinary strength, even if there is only one person!"

"To put it simply, you can imagine the special forces as Zhao Zilong during the Three Kingdoms period. He went in and out of the enemy camp seven times, and his main mission was to rescue Liu Chan of Shu!"

Cao Geng's vivid explanation immediately enlightened the confused soldiers of the Third Battalion.

"So special forces are such lone rangers!"

When they mention Zhao Yun, what comes to their mind is the heroic image in the storytelling who bravely fought against Cao's army.

However, Cao Geng shook his head.

"Zhao Yun during the Three Kingdoms period did have the skills of a special forces soldier, but he made so much noise when he rescued Adou that even the entire Cao army noticed him. From the perspective of mission execution, if Cao Cao had not loved talents, Zhao Yun might have died in Cao's camp, and the story of 'seven ins and seven outs' would not have happened, not to mention the successful rescue of Adou."

After hearing this, everyone was stunned for a moment.

In the past, when they mentioned Zhao Yun, they always praised him as a great hero.

But now the battalion commander says there is something wrong with Zhao Yun’s fighting style?

Cao Geng went on to say: "The main task of special forces is to infiltrate, to quietly penetrate into the enemy camp to complete the task. Bravery alone is not enough. No one can force their way through a battalion of soldiers, including Zhao Zilong in the storytelling."

"What if Zhao Yun knew how to disguise and infiltrate, and sneaked into the enemy to rescue Adou? Maybe the story of 'seven ins and seven outs' would no longer exist, but Adou would not be thrown down by Liu Bei because of Zhao Yun's risky behavior."

After hearing this, most people understood.

What the battalion commander meant was that special forces not only have outstanding capabilities, but also always put the mission first.

Cao Geng's words were full of encouragement: "What if the Third Battalion can train a group of Zhao Yuns? If you can work together and cooperate well, on the battlefield, let alone saving a fool, even destroying Cao's command system is not impossible."

Instantly, everyone at the scene became excited.

"So, Captain, do you want us to become special forces?"

someone in the crowd asked.

How could they not want to become special forces soldiers and possess skills like Zhao Yun?

In this way, they were more confident in fighting against the Japanese army.

It can even take the head of an enemy general amidst thousands of troops.

Cao Geng smiled and replied: "Yes, some of you will definitely become special forces soldiers in the future, but not everyone can become a special forces soldier!"

At this point, Cao Geng had to pour some cold water on everyone.

After a period of development, the number of people in the Third Battalion has exceeded 1500!

Even minus more than 200 logistics personnel.

There are more than 1300 soldiers from the Third Battalion who can go to the battlefield!

...

Among the more than 1,300 soldiers, if Cao Geng’s plan is followed, no more than fifty of them will eventually become special forces!

This number seems to be very different, but if we can really select 50 of these people and build a special forces unit, then no matter how powerful the enemy is, the chances of winning will be greatly increased. Of course, if the Japanese directly use tanks, artillery and planes to bombard Cao Geng's Third Battalion without distinguishing targets, then even if I didn't say anything just now...

"Special forces must undergo rigorous selection!"

"From today on, I will give all of you super strict training! Only those who persevere to the end and pass the assessment will be qualified to become special forces soldiers!"

In fact, after a period of observation, he has roughly known which people are suitable to be special forces. However, to see the actual effect, he still needs to continue training and observation. He believes that with the special forces, the combat effectiveness of his third battalion will reach a new level.

"Then, I'm going to give our Third Battalion Special Forces a name...let's call it 'Qianlong'." Cao Geng thought for a while and said.

Normally, "the hidden dragon is not used", but at special moments, "the hidden dragon emerges and shocks the world."

Soon after Cao Geng introduced the special forces, the soldiers of the third battalion enthusiastically devoted themselves to the training. They knew that not everyone could join the "Qianlong" special forces. But this did not affect their efforts.

After a period of modern special training, the best fifty soldiers in the three battalions stood out. They joined the "Qianlong" special forces, became real "Qianlong" special forces, and began to receive personal guidance from Cao Geng.
